At the moment, LinuxMCE seems to be more than capable (with the added benefit of displacing my Windows MCE installation... good-bye Vista).

However, on this last point, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer, so here's my scenario/question:If I have a z-wave sensor or ip camera that generates an event (e.g. IP camera motion-detection tripped), can LinuxMCE turn that event into either an email, or contact me via mobile phone (CDMA/Verizon)?

At the very least, I should be able to generate an email, but my limited understanding of LinuxMCE is that it doesn't run with a native mail server.

It doesn't send via a mail server, it sends to your cellphone via WAP/GPRS.In WebAdmin, Advanced (at the top), Network, WAP/GPRS Settings.You should be able to follow the instructions from there.

But is it possible just send notification by email? Because to use WAP/GPRS it's needed GSM gate with SIM-card. Currently I'm interested to receive just email with camera snapshot, for example. But I couldn't fine any info how to configure it. Will be very appreciated for any help

I'd also like to have this feature.... What we could do is to put something usefull into lines of /etc/motion/threadX.conf :

Michael,

The mobile phone notification is not implemented using a local GSM/SIM gateway. It uses your VOIP provider to actually call the mobile or fixed line phone you designate. The recipient will hear a spoken message and will be offered a range of 'menu' options ie "Press 1 to cancel security Alert, Press 2 to Reset the Alarm, Press 3...." using the number keys you can then take the action you require from any phone anywhere.

It works very well indeed and we find that it totally blows people away when they see this side of the system during a demonstration.

I'm able to receive a call from my Hybrid 7.10 on my cell phone (iPhone), when my motion detector get tripped, but when I hear the "Announcement"

The system is not responding to my input commands, it keeps repeating the announcement, any ideas why??

Thanks in advance for any input!!

I would imagine that the problem is in the Asterisk config somewhere...

Thom,I did that, and rebooted the system, then I tripped the motion detector, it called my Cell as before, but no response on my input, after that I changed the settings to call my PSTN home number instead of my cell, and it worked, then I pressed "4" to call my neighbor which my cell number and the system called my cell but no Announcement, just silent !!!
